Pattern Notes: Ashley Martineau, described as a “thrift-store stash queen”, unravels sweaters that she purchases from thrift-stores and recycles the yarn. This shawl pattern uses yarns from approximately 20 different sweaters. The pattern links to an online tutorial on how to unravel a sweater and recycle the yarn.

From the author: “This is a very flexible pattern—you can make it with just one kind of yarn, lots of different yarns; you can make a shorter shawl or longer shawl just by changing the number of rows you knit.”
